Re: How will HnI ends ?

I do believe that miyata and ippo will fight, but not in an official match. Everything will be done properly, but weightclasses will not matter so miyata can fight at his best condition.
Fight prediction will be miyata starting off winning, but then ippo comes back, then a split ssecond before ippo connects a KO punch Miyata will coutner. KO!! ippo loses...
lol... i know it has a very high chance for this not to happen, but thats the wayi think it iwll happen

Re: How will HnI ends ?

Ippo will end when the writer for ippo dies before the story is finished.. thats the only way this beast will end.. with so many fights to go and with a limited number of chapters released each year.. we can only hope it finishes... I can already say the next fight between miyata and randy may take 10 chaps..

Really the problem is there are too many fighters now and morikawa has to figure out if he wants to give them all the justice they need or let some of the kamogawa guys not get their last shining fight.. if we think about the over all theme of ippo it 1) to get stronger, 2) fight miyata .. really thats what this is all about so the guy above me has a good idea for a end but at this point if the morikawa continues how he did the past 400 chaps or so then it will be another 400 or so before we get a good conclusion..

Re: I'm confused. Really.

The OVA then the movie directly follow the anime, so the anime (with the OVA and movie) covers the first 314 chapters.

Re: I'm confused. Really.

Hm, I need to quote since I don't know that either. Spoilers ahead :amuse

The anime series has two spin-off movies that were actually part of the manga. Champion Road, which takes place after Ippo becomes the Japanese Featherweight Champion and showcases his first defense of the title, and Kimura Vs. Mashiba, which pits one of Ippo's senpai (upper classmen) Kimura against the Japanese lightweight champion Mashiba (the brother of Ippo's love interest).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_Spirit_(manga)

The anime covers up to Ippo's first title defense (Vol. 35 of the manga). Because of this, major character Itagaki Manabu is not included in the anime, as he was not yet introduced by that point in the story.

The characters Kimura Tatsuya and Mashiba Kumi are introduced slightly earlier than in the manga, and Kimura's fight against Mashiba Ryou takes palce after the Makunouchi vs. Sanada fight instead of before it (the final OVA covers this fight).
Hajime no Ippo: Champion Road (はじめの一歩 Champion Road) was a TV Special for the Hajime no Ippo anime, first aired April 18, 2003 as part of NTV's Friday Road Show. It covered Ippo's first title defence match as the Japanese Featherweight Champion.

It was followed by the OVA Extra Round: Kimura vs. Mashiba, although in the manga story the events in the OVA take place first.

Re: How will HnI ends ?

After beating RBJ, Miyata is going to go Junior Light Weight. Ippo will be upset since this means they can never fight, but its also him being selfish as its necessary for Miyata to do. Ippo will move on fight world class opponents including Vorg. In a rematch with Sendo though, Sendo finally beats him, and goes on to fight Martinez first.

Martinez destroys Sendo, then Ippo vows revenge. Ippo trains one on one with Takamura (Now the Cruiser Weight Title holder), for the World Featherweight title. After a long grueling battle, in which Ippo would have lost by decision, he drops him within the last minute of the last round.

They skip ahead a couple years, Ippo who has defended his belt a few times has now moved on to the junior light weights, and is challenging the world title holder, Miyata. The series ends with them crossing gloves.

Re: Your guess. How far from the end are we now?

That is a very hard question to answer. If Hajime no Ippo can maintain it's popularity and avoid being canceled prematurely; I would guess around 400 more chapters. The entire Kawamura gym has a ways to go before they accomplish their goals though, so it could be even lengthier than that.

I agrre, i read tons of fighting and shonen manga, but Takamura vs Hawk is the best fight, it send chills down my spinne too, great emotion portraited during the entire fight:
the fight itself, Nekota crying, Takamura aknolding Hawk´s strength, it´s unbelivble, really a great piece of art.

Re: Your favourite Fight

This is a hard one, with so many good fights its really hard to choose, but my favorite is definitely ippo vs sendo japanese title match, I cant help it, every time I watch the final scene in it in the anime and the song starts and they start pounding each other with their best punches I get goosebumps.

second is the vorg vs ippo fight in the a class tournament, I loved the gazelle punch its one of my favourite techniques, a tie at second is the sawamura ryuhei vs ippo, this one was a hard one, they both battered each other almost to death.

its hard for me to decide after that, but one of my favourites that I think no one mentioned is the fight between ippo and shimabukuro, the fight itsself wasnt as impressive as the others but the lead up to it made up for all that.

takamura's fights are hard for me to judge, the guy either leaves you stunned or banging your head against the wall, while being stunned after the hawk fight, he went and said his famous line and shouted it to the whole japanese nation, which left me banging my head against the wall, the guys crazy, thank god for kamogawa genji who keeps him on a leash.
